MACU students showcased their innovative research at the 66th American Chemical Society (ACS) Pentasectional Meeting held March 1st at Oral Roberts University in Tulsa. Representing MACU with distinction, these budding chemists presented their cutting-edge work to seasoned chemistry professionals from across Oklahoma.
Quentin Woodson led with his project titled Green Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles from Aqueous Clove Extract and Their Antioxidant Activity, capturing attention with a novel approach to sustainable nanoparticle production. In a complementary presentation, a collaborative team comprising Isabel Ray, Gershom Smith, and Stormy Haynes introduced their study, Comparative Analysis of Green Synthesized Silver Nanoparticles from Citrus limon, Citrus reticulata, and Citrus sinensis Fruit Peel Extracts. Their research not only emphasized environmental sustainability but also underscored the innovative potential of utilizing natural resources in chemical synthesis.
The students’ commitment to excellence and their ability to contribute meaningfully to the field of chemistry were evident throughout the event. Faculty and peers alike expressed immense pride in their achievements, marking this event as a significant milestone in MACU’s ongoing journey of academic and research excellence.
For MACU, these achievements are a testament to the hard work and dedication of its students—a bright indicator of future contributions to the scientific community.
